Latest News 14 Feb 2018: Currently seeking serving staff for Wolfward Manor

The family are all taken care of, although Lord Alfred himself is able to be taken over if someone would like that.

However, we certainly could use more house servants. We have a chef, Lord Alfred's valet, Lady Lyall's lady's maid, and the groundskeeper. With events that are about to unfold (Hush-Hush - It's a secret!), the house is going to be rather busy very shortly and the existing staff will need all the help that they can get!


Wolfward Manor, a Scottish estate, has been inhabited by the McKinley family for hundreds of years.

It is the beginning of 1915, and war has taken over the lands of Europe and Britain. At the outbreak of the war, Lord Richard McKinley, the heir to the Earldom of Wolfward, to join the Royal Flying Corps. Gone now for six months, word of the latest from the front is a continual topic among both the family left behind and the servants of the manor.

Then, in the cold of winter of January 1915, word arrived. Lord Richard's aeroplane was shot down over enemy lines. His whereabouts are currently unknown, and he is missing, presumed dead.

Wolfward Manor is the story of the McKinley family following the wake of this news arriving at the house.

Oh... And the McKinleys are werewolves.


This is primarily a player-driven game, that will involve strong writing skills, character development and the initiative to take the story into your own hands. The overarching plot, of course, will be managed at a GM level, including various visiting aristocrats and others, but it is expected that players will have the confidence and creativity to forge their own stories as well.

Please check the RTJ thread in game for more details.

We're just getting started into the actual gameplay. Currently have vacancies for Lady Elizabeth and Lady Angela McKinley, as well as house serving staff.

Other characters are welcome, but would obviously need some connection to the McKinleys to fit into the main storyline.

Ah. I remember the days when you had to scroll, like, fifteen or more pages to find your ad for bumping. Now it's three.

The McKinley family have been informed that Lord Richard, eldest son and brother, has been shot down behind enemy lines, and is missing. Lady Winifred, cousin and ward of Lord and Lady McKinley, is currently using her own powers of witchcraft to attempt a form of scrying, in an attempt to locate her cousin.

What's your reason for visiting or being at Wolfward Manor this fine winter's morning in 1916?

We are expanding. More servants are welcome but so are residents of the town. We are accepting humans and supernaturals that may fit the setting. Stop by and take a look at the setting information and the RTJ threads. Click the request access link in the game if you're interested of if you have any questions.

Bump.

Bump.

It has now been just over two weeks since Lord Richard McKinley, eldest son of Wolfward Earl, Lord Alfred, was reported missing after his aeroplane was shot down behind enemy lines. In that time, the war itself has reached British shores, with news of bombing raids in the South East of England from German airships.

In spite of cousin Fred's scrying efforts, the McKinley's have been unable to determine the status of Richard's welfare - a sign that does not bode well, but is not completely bad news either, as she should have been able to find him, even if he was dead.

We have opened up the town, so are looking for general townsfolk. The story of Lord Richard's disappearance has dominated the town gossip since it leaked into the community.

Magical abilities or quirks are possible, but mostly we're looking at humans. This isn't a refuge town for supernaturals, so we're looking for a good reason for your character to have any magical ability or connection to the supernatural.

Pop over to the game, and have a read of our RTJ thread and information!

Bump! See original post for the current information.

Either way join us in this intriguing game with a tight-knit group of players who have become friends out of game.

The family are Werewolves but we have a Witch who is our cousin and other things are possible with GM approval.

Join us and explore the lovely lands of Kilmanock, East Ayrshire, and other places of wonder during the War to End All Wars.

Key Information

Wolfward Manor is an Adult freeform fantasy game set in wartime Scotland. Combining elements of both supernatural and human drama, the game offers a rich backdrop for players to explore this fascinating period and the characters who lived in it.

After a brief transitional period, the game is gearing up to begin its first large story arc, and we're always looking to welcome new players who are interested in getting involved. Whether you're the local vicar, an exile from Russia looking for shelter or a penniless poet looking for love, look no further than Wolfward Manor!

Still looking for new players - we are rather lacking eligible (or indeed ineligible) gentlemen to accompany and spark off our rather excellent cast of female characters, but all characters are welcome!

Still looking for new players as we time-jump forward to enjoy dinner, dissent and duggery of the skull variety.

Also accepting lurkers if players want to have a look before they get more closely involved.

Still accepting new players!

Time has jumped forward but there's still an opportunity for new characters to get involved in the plot! As such, we are still accepting new players and lurkers!
